BELLEVUE, Wash., March 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) today condemned a suggestion by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom that firemen be posted on street corners in violent neighborhoods, at the same time five city supervisors are pushing an initiative to disarm the city's law abiding citizens.
"Firemen are supposed to fight fires, not crime," said SAF Founder Alan M. Gottlieb. "Yet here's Mayor Newsom, quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle, suggesting that fire trucks and their crews could be detailed to high crime areas as some sort of deterrent. The initiative to ban handguns in San Francisco is stupid, but this idea is just plain crazy."
I've looked for verification of this, thus far, rumor; haven't found a thing except... new changes to the SFFD mission and code.
